We are holding a ‘Grow Your Own’ public meeting on Saturday 21st March at 11am, to be followed by a seed swap. The meeting is also for everyone living within the charity’s “area of benefit” to decide on updates to our constitution. We hope starting our seed swap as soon as it finishes will guarantee a short – and quorate – meeting. (I hope that doesn’t sound too much like bribery!).

• Find out how to grow potatoes in an old compost bag!
• Admire the ingenious uses local gardeners find for other people’s rubbish!
• Sign up with Brighton & Hove Organic Gardeners Group!
• Take away gardening goodies
• Free refreshments

Come along to the Hanover Centre with your friends and family to pick up some ideas and what you need to get started on growing your own for the least possible outlay. Café open 10.45 am to 1pm.

Please bring anything gardening-related you’d like to share or re-home (leftover seeds, seed potatoes, seedlings, plants, tools, books, seed compost etc).

This is the poster for the event.

We’re hosting a session at the Hanover Centre on Saturday 21st March for people who would like to grow more of their own food – in the garden, in containers or on the windowsill. There will be more details here and on posters closer to the day when we know exactly what we can offer, but we can promise at the very least a seed swap and refreshments.

This is also the date for our AGM. We urgently need to modernise our constitution, so we’ll be asking Grow Your Own enthusiasts to help us vote in our shiny new constitution too.
